"Teaching runs in my blood! Educators in my family include my mother, brother, grandmother, two aunts and my cousin. I greatly enjoy the privilege of working with students to help them bring out their very best. Perhaps the most common compliment I receive from students and colleagues is that I'm highly patient. I've worked in many places, both internationally and in the United States, and have worked with a wide range of student backgrounds, which helps me perceive what will best help my students. I look forward to working with you!"
